Since we visited this spot, a half year has past… but then again, this is such a great spot to visit during the hot summer months, so it all works out better, maybe? Kooriya Peace is a spot that specializes in Shaved Ice, all year long. Yes, even in the winter! We went there to […]
I love a good parfait from Japan. We got to have a really amazing Japanese flavored parfait from Hayashiya Chaen, and glorious fruits parfait from Kajitsuen Libre. While we were visiting Asakusa in January, we decided to try another fruits parfait spot called Fruit Parlor Goto. It is inside one of the old, covered shopping […]
Still trying to catch up with the Martha’s Vineyard spots we visited last Autumn… After having a great dining experience at the Beach Road Restaurant, we were ready for more! We found this lovely place called The Pawnee House, named after a historic grand Victorian Hotel with the same name. It is located at where […]
It is getting hot in the City! Well, it is still not that bad, but soon, it will be 90-something-degree everyday… On those days (or any day, really), the perfect little pick-me-up is hands down ice cream in my opinion! There are hundreds of ice cream spots in NYC, like Taiyaki NYC and Tipsy Scoop, […]
When you spend a good amount years in Japan, you have opportunity to try all sorts of real sushi spots, from more of an affordable ones, the conveyor belt one, and some real deal ones in Japan. And I do love all sorts of sushi, especially the real deal ones…well, who wouldn’t? We’ve enjoyed some […]
Oh how I missed you my sweet, delicate, heavenly eclairs… Ever since I visited this amazing spot right at closing time (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery/), I have been dreaming about their eclairs. I love eclairs, and I have had my share of disappointments with very small amount of filling, or not so tasty […]
It certainly has been a hot Summer. What saves us from the heat? Nice air conditioned room, ice cream, beach…and then there is Italian Ice. We heard everyone talking about this one in particular, near Corona Park. On a weekend we were visiting the Corona Park, and had some nice water splashing our face from […]
I heard a whisper about this little delightful sweet shop and cafe opened up in Inwood, just few months ago in March. I am always looking for a pastry shop that can really deliver the high quality, tasty sweets, so I went out there to check them out. It is an upscale and modern Pastry […]
A cute Italian/French Cafe restaurant right off the train station, more of a neighborhood gem. When you say “French” restaurant, especially in Japan, it is usually very upscale, very formal place. But here, it is more casual, still have that elegance but you can go in without feeling uptight. They provide the cuisine in that […]
